Hi there and hello,
Here’s a bit of Friday morning trivia for you: Thanksgiving, 1630, English colonists had their first date with popcorn. A Native American by the name of Quadequine made the introduction.
It was a good day.
Can you imagine–seeing popcorn for the first time? With no stove tops or microwaves it had to be something akin to magic. I wonder what they thought of it all; if they associated popcorn with Thanksgiving from that moment forward; if they even liked it?
I know for me, there was a time when I’d only take my popcorn with chocolate drizzle or peanut butter {Mmm . . . peanut butter popcorn}. Today I tend only stray from the cheesy corn {bleck!}.
So why do I yammer on? I don’t even know. Except it’s been a bit of a week. Not bad, mind you, just . . . not entirely the best in all the land. I’m definitely ready for the weekend. A big bowl of popcorn and a good movie sounds all sorts of fabulous right about now. I’m not sure where I’ll fit it in, but by George, I’m gonna give it a try.
And you?
Whatever you have on your agenda, I hope it might include a little something new–maybe introduce something you love to another–and may your heart overflow with thankfulness for the goodness of your days.
Happiest of weekend wishes to you!
Now that's a great reason to pop some corn tonight. Yum. Happy weekend to you.
Agreed! Of course, I'm pretty sure any reason is a great reason to pop some corn with the ones you love! 🙂
Happiest of weekends to you! And if I had seen popcorn for the first time, I definitely would not have thought to eat it. Maybe use it for cushioning and padding but not eat it

It would be fun to see their reactions. 🙂
